Chapter 9: Angst
Of course I accepted. I don’t care at all with his goal, as long as he kept his promise. Even if I have to kill… Because mom is my most precious one i had.

Six years ago my mom fell ill. My dad had long passed away, and I was the only child. That time, I decided to quit school and got money for my mom’s treatment. There is no med for my mom’s illness, but Genesis could prolong her life until the medication found. Because mom is my most precious.
So I worked anywhere, living minimally as I could and saving almost all of my earnings for my mom. Then I eventually entered underground gladiator battle. I fought like a madman, winning battle upon battle for my mom. Because mom is my most precious.
Few months ago, someone named Darwin from Genesis contacted me. He knew about my mother, hiring me to a job with huge payment.
“Join Genoranger, and keep a tab on them,” he said.
Of course I accepted. I don’t care at all with his goal, as long as he kept his promise. Even if I have to kill… Because mom is my most precious one i had.
“Judd… Judd!?”
Jen’s call disturbed Judd’s reminiscent, Judd then asked, “What’s it?”
“What are you doing, keeping quiet?” Jen asked, “Come, let’s met Darwin.”
They then entered that huge Aztec pyramid-shaped building. For those who entered that building for the first time, they would think they leapt forward hundred years to the future. Clean white room with newest technologies inside glass display cases littered around, a huge portrait of a huge, tall blonde man named Serhan Nobel, CEO Genesis Inc, displayed in the center.
The man they were looking for had a room in the fifth floor. A neat, tidy room, with trinkets in a large shelf that could be counted with fingers. A man with seaweed hair sat on a chair. In his table was a name display. Darwin Mengele, Head of Genesis Inc’s Genetic Research. Darwin smiled when Jen and Judd entered his room.
“Do you really have it?” Darwin asked.
“Of course,” Judd said, who produced few DNA Key. “Parasaurolophus and Stegosaurus DNA Key, and Stegoorange’s Genophone.”
“Eccellente (very good),” Darwin said in Italian, “But, all of these DNA Key are level two, right?”
“They five couldn’t be separated,” Judd said, “Maybe we can ambush them in their sleep.”
Darwin then got up from his chair and walked to the window, “A good chance for you. My drone captured tens of people burdened with DNA Key. Most of them won’t live through the day. Your task is to gather the DNA Key of those who were killed.”
“How about our payment?” Jen asked.
“I’ve sent it to your account, signora (lady). Now, go.”
Jen and Judd nodded. Judd then got out of the room. Jen stayed there and Darwin felt wondered and a bit upset that Jen didn’t obey his command immediately, “Cosa diavolo aspetti (What the hell are you waiting for), Jen?”
“Why did you collect the DNA Key? Isn’t Genesis the one that created them?” Jen asked.
Darwin smiled, “Curiosity. That’s all you need to know. Anything else?”
“Non, vi ringrazio di tutto quello che avete fatto per me (No, I thank you for all you have done for me), Darwin.”
Meanwhile out there, the Genorangers lured Androsaurs outside of the fence. Not a few Genorangers that just appeared fell into the hands of Androsaurs. The situation was really, really bad for Petra, three out of five people he led had died. And in front of him, a dark green Edmontosaurus Genoranger eaten alive by Dodo Androsaur. The sound of ripped flesh and screams colored the world around him.
Dodo Androsaur looked at Petra and dashed to him. Petra then took Polacanthus DNA Key from his fallen friend and inserted it to his Genophone.
“POLACANTHUS.”
Spikes grew in Petra’s body, pricking Dodo’s body. Petra flew away, then with his bow Petra fired a charged attack that killed Dodo in one attack. Petra approached Edmontosaurus that already died. Petra then took that Genoranger’s DNA Key.
“Apologize,” Petra said, “Level 1 huh… No wonder…”
Dodo Androsaur then turned into a giant. Petra took out his Stahlsaurer, in the same time with the appearance of Allosaurus. Hyde that controlled Allosaur attacked Dodo and Amphicyon that he fought.
“Damn monster! You will pay for the soul of Jean, Monica, Jonathan, and Immanuel!” he said in anger.
In other place the condition was just as bad. As Allosaurus appeared, in front of Winnie a lavender Iguanodon Genoranger was being stomped by Moa Androsaur with its huge talon.
“Let him go!” Winnie then shot Moa Androsaur, that Androsaur shierked and let go of his grip.
An Alanqa Genoranger, a winged vermillion Genoranger then lifted that lavender Genoranger and retreated with Winnie.
“Mike, you alright?” Winnie asked, even though she already knew the answer.
“Yeah…,” replied Iguanodon Genoranger weakly, stuttered. “Thanks, Debby.”
“Don’t think about it,” Alanqa Genoranger said, “At least we have arrived at the place where we can kill them. I’ll take care of that ugly bird.”
Suddenly from behind Palaeochiropteryx Androsaur swooped down on Mike, his head was decapitated and fell on the ground. Winnie’s anger rose and she in a frenzy shot Palaeochiropteryx, all of her shot hit that Androsaur. Debby in the same time managed to kill Moa Androsaur with her throwing sword.
The two of them became giant. Winnie called Plesiosaurus. Debby tried to get inside Plesiosaurus because DNA Key below level two did not have Stahlsaurer, but she crashed on Moa’s beak. That giant Androsaur opened its beak and cut Debby in two.
“Debby!”
Winnie then pressed Plesiosaurus forward and attacked that two Androsaur by herself. She was pressed, got hit by some attacks until Stahlsaurer Triceratops came and helped her.
“Alvin!” Winnie shouted, “Everyone…”
“Focus, Winnie!” Alvin said.
By the side of Triceratops came Stahlsaurer Velociraptor and mauve Stahlsaurer Vulcanodon came to their aid, controlled by Jason, Vulcanmauve Genoranger. Vulcanodon agilely maneuvered between three giant Androsaur, with guns beside its body that Stahlsaurer rained upon them with shrapnel.
But even though they could kill all of that Androsaur, many Androsaur and Androfutter that got stomped became a giant too. Suddenly Anka called Alvin.
“Yo,” Anka called.
“Ya are… Anka, right?” Alvin asked, “Are ya fucking mental, giving those weaklings DNA Keys?”
“At least they helped you, right?” Anka asked, “You don’t have to think about that, clearly, you are cornered, right? Tyrannorot is healing his wound, he would not be able to fight for a while, which means Saurierkaiser is out of question.”
“Ya have an idea or not?” Alvin pressed hastily.
“Allosaurus can combine with all of you to replace Tyrannosaurus Rex, even though it won’t be as strong as Saurierkaiser.”
Alvin snorted, “I dunno, why ya always give strong DNA Key to delusional kids.”
Anka just smiled, always that unwilled fake smile. Alvin then asked, “Oi, Anka… Can ya bring Eric here?”
But Anka was already gone. Alvin shook his head, and then informed this to his friends. Hyde immediately asked them in an upbeat tone to quickly combine. Those five Stahlsaurers then combined, with the same structure as Saurierkaiser. Its name was Saurierherzog.
“WOAH, AWESOME!” Hyde screamed.
Meanwhile down there, a fair distance from where that giant robot appeared, Judd and Jen reconned through the wasteland of the battlefield. Corpses of those Genorangers were scattered about. Judd examined those corpses and took DNA Key he found. Jen, somewhat timidly, helped looking for DNA Key in the opposite direction, her hands were shaking as she plucked DNA Key from Genorangers’s corpses. Among those corpses, she saw a familiar face.
“Jessica…,” her words faded.
With her hand, she closed her classmate's eyes, then took Deinonychus DNA Key from Jessica's hand.
Meanwhile Judd moved quickly, taking as many DNA Key as he could find. Judd ducked to look for DNA Key from an old man’s corpses when something touched his neck.
“Those aren’t yours,” a young man said.
Judd spun, looking at not one, but two Genorangers, in the color of violet and magenta. That Genoranger pointed his weapon, a pike, to Judd.
“PACHYGRAU.”
Judd transformed into Pachygrau and took out Cephalonir and attacked that violet Genoranger. That violet Genoranger held Judd’s attack so easily.
Judd looked at them clearly now. Those two Genorangers got armor in their chest, shoulder, waist, and feet.
“Who are you!?” Judd asked.
“Apatoblitz,” violet Genoranger answered.
“And Dipplodoner,” magenta Genoranger added with similar voice. Twins?
“JUDD!”
“ANKYLOCYAN.”
Jen then attacked Apatoblitz, but Diplodonner held Jen with his whip.
“A nice spirit, now begone,” Diplodonner said as he pushed Jen away, thunder blasted from his whip.
“Jen!”
“We heard those five’s conversations,” Apatoblitz said, “You killed one of your own friends, right? Disgusting.”
“Shut up!” Judd said as he threw Apatoblitz’s pike.
Judd then swung Cephalonir and struck Apatoblitz, pushing him away.
“WHAT DID YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?” Judd screamed.
“I don’t care about your problem,” Diplodonner said.
“What we know is that you will be our stepping stone to be the hero of Natales,” Apatoblitz said.
Judd’s anger had gone way past its limit, his body was flowing with some kind of energy, something was changing inside him…
From behind the silver Genoranger appeared, who struck Judd’s neck with his pommel. That attack went all the way to his cervical vertebrae, Judd’s transformation stopped and he blacked out.
“Judd!” Jen called.
“You… take him away,” that silver Genoranger said.
“Alright,” Jen said, who took Judd away.
Diplodonner moved to stop Jen, but that silver Genoranger blinked to the front of Diplodonner and with his shield blocked Diplodonner’s whiplash.
Dipplodonner pressed, but that silver Genoranger threw him away.
That silver Genoranger then pointed his sword to Apatoblitz and Diplodonner, “She is the key for my end goal… I won’t let you two stops that woman.”
He then dashed forward to attack them.

Judd woke up in a dim-lighted room, laying on a bed. He opened his eyes, his mind was foggy, his eyes were cloudy. He then recognized this room right away, a bedroom for Natales’s employees on the second floor.
“Judd, are you awake?”
Judd looked, Darwin sat on a chair beside him.
“Darwin…,” Judd called.
“Jen had told me everything,” Darwin said, “About the silver Genoranger, and those two different Genorangers. Interesting, interesting…. There are so many interesting things that have appeared lately…”
“Is there something you want to talk about?” Judd asked, “It’s not like you to chit-chat around.”
Darwin looked at Judd with sadness, “Judd… Your mother…”
Judd’s mouth agape, his tears fell when he heard his mom was gone, finally beaten on her fight against that deadly illness.
